2021 Distillers Edition - Batch No. LGV 4/510
The Distillers Edition 2021 features a 2006 Distillers Edition Lagavulin single malt, double-matured in ex-bodega Pedro Ximenez sherry cask. Bottled in 2021 with an abv of 43%. Intense, raisiny sweetness that marries beautifully with the smoky power of the regular release to create a massive, rich tasting power-house of a malt.
On the nose there is the aforementioned medicinal peat, alongside tar, dark chocolate and red berries. Stewed and stoned fruits, almonds, bonfire smoke and toffee intermingle on the palate. More peat and smoke with a touch of red grape linger on the finish.
Limited quantities worldwide.

Tasting Notes
Nose: |
Satisfying and enticing; intense peat, vanilla. A raisiny sweetness checks the smoke. Crisp, roasty malt. |
Taste: |
Sweet and luscious; clear malt, smoke fills the mouth. Very salty tang; coffee, vanilla, a glimmer of fruit. |
Finish: |
Incredibly long, even for Islay. Fruit, peat, and long-lasting oak. Very engaging and enjoyable. |
